Help Henry Move In
Every cat deserves a windowsill
In the fall of 2019, a black kitten followed me home from a farm in Graham. I named him Henry. He was only with us for a short time, and he spent a lot of it trailing after our dog, Imogene.
Henry's Place is named for him. It's a cat lounge and cafe opening in Burlington in spring 2027, run with Sparkle Cat Rescue. The cats in the lounge are up for adoption, and many of them are the ones who wait the longest for a home.
The plan is ready and a building is in view. What it needs now is the money to get started: the deposit and first rent, and the renovation that turns the space into a safe lounge for cats with a cat-free cafe next door. That's what this campaign pays for.
Thank you for helping Henry move in.
